Two and a half decades ago, the great rock band Black & White
was the hottest group around as everything they did went platinum. However, superegos fueled by excess sex and
overdosing on drugs led to the band’s bitter dissolving; though the two superstars
(Chocolatte and French Vanilla) had great solo careers.
Now twenty-five years since the ugly public break-up, Black &
White is in Vegas to perform a reunion event at the Crystal Phoenix. The hotel’s boss lady Van Von Rhine tells her
public relations consultant Temple Barr to babysit the group; especially the
critical feuding two divas, ready to rage Chocolatte and paranoid frail French
Vanilla. When a corpse related to the
band is found, LVPD Lieutenant Molina investigates; while Temple’s feline
protector Midnight Louie, Miss Midnight Louise and the cat crew also make
inquiries, in the feline’s case to insure their favorite PR guru remains safe.
The latest Midnight Louie anthropomorphic
mystery (see Cat In A Vegas Gold Vendetta, Cat In A White Tie And Tails
and Cat In An Alien X-ray) is a deadly rock and roll reunion tale
filled with taut twists (including Kitty the Cutter) and pop culture
trivia. Temple keeps the prime storyline
focused, although the divas headline this show with their behavior; while
series fans will enjoy the antics of the father and daughter feline duet
working their tails off investigating the murder.
